Introduction Welcome to Subic Bay Freeport (SBF)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential community. We are pleased to have you as a resident of Subic Bay. Let us all, in a cooperative spirit, continue to make our community a place where we can all live happily and harmoniously together with our neighbors coming from the Freeport locators, employees, retirees, and expatriates of various nationalities and culture. This handbook aims to familiarize you with the policies and guidelines associated with living in the Freeport, including the use of housing facilities and other community amenities, and the privileges and limitations attached to these. The goal is to provide each resident a comfortable and safe place to live in while enjoying the unique quality of life in the Freeport. For the comfort of your fellow residents and as a courtesy to them, we expect you to maintain clean and healthy surroundings. We have the general housing guidelines, including the proper disposal of household wastes, which is one of the key indications of a well-maintained and orderly community. Your convenience and safety are most important to us. If you wish to avail of maintenance and technical repair assistance, service providers are within easy reach to provide you with reliable and friendly services. Fast and dependable assistance is likewise available 24/7 for any emergency situation at home or within your neighborhood. Part of our security measure is to limit the access of people entering the residential areas. It is therefore necessary that every member of the household has a resident identification card issued by the SBMA. Vehicle decals for residents are also available for proper identification and monitoring of vehicles entering the residential areas. Personal belongings such as but not limited to furniture and appliances may be allowed to be taken in and out of the Freeport subject to proper registration, documentation and inspection. As a gesture of respect to your neighbors, please be conscious of the noise emanating from your homes. Some people may not realize how sound is carried to others. Consequently, every resident is expected to avoid causing any unnecessary and unpleasant noises within the living quarters. If you plan to do some house improvements such as renovations, exterior paintings and landscaping, you are likewise required to secure permits and authorization passes from various SBMA offices before the activity begins. You are most welcome to fully enjoy the community facilities and amenities intended for public use. Kindly review this handbook carefully and if further clarification is required, please feel free to contact the SBMA Land Asset Management Department (LAMD) at Tel Nos. +6347 252.4409 or 4147. We thank you in advance for your efforts and cooperation in carrying on with the guidelines stated in this handbook at all times.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Role of Residents

Every resident shall observe and comply with the guidelines set by the SBMA Ecology Center to maintain, protect and preserve Subic Bay’s natural environment surrounding the housing areas. It is the role of every resident to promote and cooperate in every endeavor leading to maintaining the balance of ecosystem and promoting environmental protection in the entire Freeport. Residents are expected to properly observe the guidelines set by the SBMA’S Ecology Center particularly on tree-cutting/tree-trimming activities and proper household waste disposal. They shall also actively participate in the monitoring of PROHIBITED ACTS including the following:

• • • • • • • • • •

Illegal land filling and/or improper storage of wastes Dumping of all types of waste in all water bodies and in ECAs Use of hazardous waste transporters not accredited by the SBMA and DENR Use of oversized bags Any action resulting to vermin and rodent infestation Transporting and/or taking out of waste outside SBFZ Use of dump trucks which have a capacity beyond 15 cubic meters Transferring of wastes from one place to another Disposal of hazardous wastes without an approved permit from Ecology Center Mixing of hazardous with non-hazardous wastes

B. Ecology Center’s Guidelines for Residents It is the duty of the SBMA Ecology Center to ensure conservation of biological diversity, maintain visual amenity, and protect the environment, pursuant to the goals and objectives of the Subic Bay Protected Area Management Plan (SBPAMP). This includes imposition of guidelines to SBF residents on protection and sustainability of Subic Bay’s natural environment particularly related to the conservation of trees and waste management. The policy strictly prohibits the cutting or damaging of any tree within the Freeport. However, exemptions may be given on justifiable grounds as permitted by the Ecology Center, such as unavoidable cutting or damaging of trees in connection with implementing vital infrastructure projects; when tree trimming activities are necessary for the proper maintenance of facilities such as power transmission and distribution lines as well as improvement of visual amenity in public areas such as roads, parks, etc.; or when tree cutting or trimming activities are required to protect public safety. Permits issued may specify conditions such as restoration, replanting and other remedial measures deemed reasonable by the Ecology Center.

1. Tree Cutting/Tree Trimming Activities a. Tree Cutting Permit authorizing the holder to cut or remove trees if such is necessary or unavoidable in connection with the implementation of vital infrastructure projects or SBMA facilities, or to protect public safety; b. Tree Trimming Permit authorizing the holder to trim undesirable parts or overgrown branches of trees and shrubs for the protection of public safety and maintenance of facilities (e.g. power transmission and distribution lines), and enhancement of visual amenity. Replacement Requirements All trees that have been cut or damaged under a Tree Cutting Permit shall be replaced with saplings of indigenous species according to replacement ratios set by the SBMA. The replacement ratios are based on three factors: a. Species value – as determined by the intrinsic ecological value of the tree species; rare and endangered species have higher replacement requirements compared to common species. b. Habitat value – as determined by the SBPAMP management zone classification of the area where the cutting activity will take place; areas designated as core ecological zones are critical for protection and thus entail higher replacement requirements. c. Commercial value – as determined mainly by the size of the tree cut, and other market factors (premium or non-premium wood). In addition to providing replacement saplings, the permit holder shall be required to pay a fee for planting and maintenance (for a period of three years) to be undertaken by the SBMA.

2. Waste Management Solid Waste Management Schedule of Fees for Residential Areas All wastes, except for toxic and hazardous wastes, generated within the SBFZ shall, at all times, be disposed of at the Olongapo City Dumpsite. A. Regular Collection

US$10.00 per household/month

B. Special Collection*

U$30.00/truck

C. Tipping Fee**

US$31.00/truckload (maximum of 15 cu. m.)

D. Grass Cutting***

PHP235 for 200 sq. m. and below; PHP1.10/sq. m. for every area in excess of 200 sq. m.

*This refers to collection of wastes other than the specified and/or requested time and day of collection. All residents and locators are limited to a maximum of 30 bags per collection. Bags exceeding this number shall fall under special collection. **Only accredited haulers and locators with capability to transfer/haul their waste/garbage are allowed to avail Tipping Permits. ***Penalty Fee for grass cutting takes effect when the CMD makes the initiative to do the necessary ground maintenance work because the area has become unsightly and poses danger to life and property as a result of a locator’s/resident’s inaction. The rate is higher than the Service Fee in order to encourage consciousness among locators and residents to clean up on time. Penalty Fee: PHP1,500 for 200 sq. m. and below; PHP1.10/sq. m. for every area in excess of 200 sq. m. C.

IX. GUIDELINES ON HOUSING INSURANCE CLAIMS Republic Act 656 requires all government agencies, except for municipal government below first class, to insure all its properties with Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). The SUBIC BAY METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY (SBMA), being a government agency, is therefore covered by this law, such that all Residential Lessees are required to insure their housing units being leased from SBMA inside SBFZ with GSIS, with SBMA as beneficiary. All those currently covered by private insurance policies are hereafter required to insure their housing units with GSIS upon expiration of their existing insurance policies and all lessees whose housing units are not yet covered by insurance are hereby advised to insure the same with GSIS. BASIC POLICY Residents/Lessees shall ensure that all housing units are maintained in fully habitable status at all times and they shall be responsible for any restoration, repair or renovation work in the event that such property is damaged by fire, earthquake, typhoon, storm, malicious damage and other calamities and causes, whether or not such perils are covered by insurance. As provided for under the mandatory insurance with GSIS, each Resident/Lessee is mandated to insure only with GSIS based on the general terms and conditions laid out under the SBMA-GSIS MOA. SBMA, being the owner of these housing units or having interest on any housing unit constructed by lessees inside the SBFZ (unless specifically stipulated in the lease contract), should therefore, be the beneficiary of the insurance policy of said units. It is also the policy of SBMA that the Resident/Lessee assume any unrecoverable claim, such as, but not limited to:

• Claims that are below the policy deductible or owners participation. • Claims and expenses that are incidental to the repair/restoration/replacement activity but are unrecoverable under the policy

• Claims that are caused by perils excluded under the policy or unrecoverable due to violation of policy terms, conditions and warranties

• Claims that are unrecoverable due to the application of the co-insurance clause (when the insured value falls below the replacement cost)

• Provision for ‘betterment’ or deductions for depreciation.” COVERAGE These guidelines shall apply to all housing units inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone including those situated or are to be constructed in the Kalayaan Area (New West Kalayaan and New East Kalayaan, West Kalayaan and East Kalayaan), Binictican Area (Binictican Drive, Samahan Heights, Bayani Village, and Binictican Heights), Cubi Housing area (Upper Cubi and Lower Cubi).

SBMA, there from, shall inform the Lessee/Resident the identity of the appointed loss adjuster that will evaluate the claim. 3. Lessee/Resident and LAMD will submit all required documents specified below to such adjuster as soon as possible and with minimum delay. Lessee/Resident agrees to render all assistance and fully cooperate with SBMA, GSIS and the adjuster in gathering information, preparation of documents, interview of employees and access to leased premises so that the claim will be acted upon with minimum delay. 4. The LESSEE will provide all other requirements as maybe needed by GSIS to LAMD. 5. The Independent Adjuster will file a final report to GSIS. 6.

XI. SAFETY REMINDERS Home Safety

• Keep flammable and combustible materials (e.g., paper, newspapers, pot holders, curtains, gasoline, and solvents) away from any open flames coming from your appliances and any other sources of heat.

• • • •

Unplug electrical appliances when not in use. Do not leave cooking unattended. Ensure all emergency devices such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers are working properly. Regularly inspect condition of wiring, cords, plugs, fuses and electrical equipment to avoid shorts and sparks.

• Weather-proof all outdoor outlets and fittings that may be exposed to wind and rain. • Do not plug in too many electrical appliances or equipment at a single time or to octopus connections to avoid circuit overloads.

• Never leave wires hanging loose along pathways. • Turn off light switches or outlets when felt warm and immediately call a qualified electrician to check the wiring.

• Keep electrical appliances away from windows to avoid electric shock and damage that rain may cause.

• Don't run electrical cords under rugs, carpets or furniture. Walking on cords can break wiring and possibly cause a fire.

• Use light bulbs of specified wattage for your lamp or lighting fixture and screw in securely to avoid overheat and fire.

• • • • • •

Avoid placing electrical appliances near water, like in sinks or bathtubs. Ensure all plugs fit securely in outlets. Never force a plug into an outlet if it doesn't fit. Circuit breakers and fuses should be of correct sizes for the circuits and are properly labeled. Inform all members of the family living in the house of fire exits and emergency contact numbers. Label chemical products properly and keep them away from children’s reach. Keep doors closed and windows screened to prevent mosquitoes and even monkeys from entering the house.

Parking Vehicles

• Park your vehicles only in designated parking areas. • Always keep your cars locked and car keys with you. • Do not leave valuable things and documents inside your parked vehicle.

Driving

• • • •

Do not drink and drive. Never go beyond maximum speed limit. Obey traffic rules at all times. Ensure vehicle is in good running condition before driving.

Biking

• Stay on bicycle lanes at all times. • Wear helmet. • Biking children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Maintenance of Surroundings

• Keep surroundings clean and green. • Trim grasses regularly. Grasses should not be allowed to grow beyond 1.5 inches as this may pose danger to public safety and may be an attraction to forest animals such as snakes, rats and wild pigs.

• Eliminate stagnant water that serve as mosquito breeding sites within your surroundings especially along roadside canals and stored water in uncovered containers. Utilities

• Call a service provider for water leakages, busted lamp posts, damaged electrical lines, and all other concerns of utility lines.

• Immediately report tree branches that have fallen and/or may cause damage to electrical wirings. Do not cut trees unless a permit has been secured from the Ecology Center. Pet Safety

• Have your pets vaccinated. • Confine or secure your pets. • Make sure pets are properly endorsed to caretakers or neighbors for proper caring when on vacation. Visitor Entry

• Expected visitors who are not from the SBF housing areas should be properly coordinated with the housing sentry. Emergency

• Dial 911 from any landline within SBF for all types of emergency situations. • Dial 91111 from a Globe or Smart mobile phone. • Make sure that caretakers and people regularly left at home are properly informed and constantly reminded on home safety measures.

• Post safety reminders and emergency hotlines in a conspicuous place in the house.
